This reminds me of when Howard Stern mocks actors who, whenever a new movie comes out, give the obligatory interview gushing about their co-stars.

(Imitating the British accent of Jude Law) “Haley Joel Osment is such a delight to work with. Such talent and professionalism in an actor so young is truly amazing. Haley Joel Osment can excrete diamonds and rubies! He is an amazing young man. His urine can cure cancer, and all manner of diseases. He urinates on Bob Hope once a week. This is the only thing keeping Mr. Hope alive.” (This was from before Bob Hope became the late Bob Hope.)

Douglas Fletcher, I notice Huffington is a new preselected opinion option on Yahoo news. USA Today opinion, another option, is no opinion. But I think I’m with you that a very small percent of Yahoo News readers would click on any opinion.

The couple of times I have been over there, I noted that if I tried to comment on the blogs, there was a delay before posting while they reviewed the post for content. Since that delay could apparently sometimes be A WEEKEND LONG, I lost interest.

Unless that was just a special thing was limited to just the articles I wrote, their metablog will fail. Blogs are participatory, that’s the whole point.

In honor of this great man, I’ll regale you with more of his exploits:

When Kim Jong Il was in the Olympics Skating for the gold He did two Salchows and a triple Lutz while wearing a blindfold When Kim Jong Il was in the Alps Fighting grizzly bears He used his magical fire breath And saved the maidens fair When Kim Jong Il traveled through time To the year 3010 He fought the evil robot king And saved the human race again And when Kim Jong Il built the pyramids He beat up Kubla Khan Cuz Kim Jong Il doesn’t take shit from anybody!

I was going to say that technically there are no grizzly bears in the Alps, although you might find the European brown bear there. However, I then discovered that the Euro brown and the grizzly are actually subspecies of the same species (Ursus arctos), so it’s a fine hair to split. You can actually find varieties of Ursus arctos all over the stinkin’ Northern Hemisphere.

Working with Jude really was amazing. He’s such a professional and so talented. His pubes are actually a form of silk much finer than anything produced by a silk worm. He spins them into magnificent robes and auctions them off for charity. I once saw him cure an entire AIDS ward by just rubbing them with his soiled underwear. That’s how powerful his body emissions are. When he farts it smells like strawberry ice cream. Jude is the finest actor of our generation. I learned so very much from my time with him. He’s a treasure.

If I’m not mistaken, Kim’s dear dad had North Korean textbooks explain that he was the first man to orbit the earth and walk on the moon. He may have even had something to do with the development of electricity. Truly, with such enlightened leaders as these, North Korea must be a paradise where ne’er a soul has suffered even the slightest discomfort.
